Educational Technology Portfolio

Abstract

An educational technology portfolio was completed as a creative component project to meet the requirement for the educational technology masters program in the School of Education at Iowa State University. Artifacts included in this portfolio were aligned to the program's standards, that include: 1) technology planning and integration, 2) digital citizenship, 3) research and assessment, and 4) visionary leadership. For the first standard, an artifact was selected that focused on designing instruction for senior citizens to create their and operate a Facebook account. This instruction was designed to be given at a public library and the learners were >55 years old. Standard two's artifact was a professional development opportunity for teachers that focused on fair use and transformation. For the third standard, the artifact selected was a reflection on an action research project that studied the correlation between homework and summative assessment achievement. For the visionary leadership standard, the artifact selected was a professional development opportunity that focused on Google add-ons and extensions. Teachers were exposed to a variety of add-ons and extensions for use in the classroom.</p
